The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina BivaldMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a feel-good, warm, fuzzy, effortless read, written especially for those who live to read and who love happy endings. It's about ordinary people struggling to keep up with life and it's about love arriving at last and how we find happiness in the simplest of things. It was nice; it made me smile.
Some might use the reading of this book as a remedy to a day full of stress, because it does not challenge. Others might find it quotidian, because it does not challenge.
I might not have finished the book, except that it was packed with the best quotes about books and the readers of books! So, I read on.
Like this:
I've always thought that books have some kind of healing power and that they can, if nothing else, provide a distraction.
And this:
People were strange like that. They could be completely uninterested in you, but the moment you picked up a book, you were the one being rude.
And this:
Can you smell it? The scent of new books. Unread adventures. Friends you haven't met yet, hours of magical escapism awaiting you.
You might not be surprised by the events as they unfold, but you will find yourself smiling and cheering on the residents of Broken Bend.
